Chaos erupts as a successful coup is carried out and it’s up to whomever you choose to play as (Emily or Corvo) to right the wrongs and save the kingdom. A celebration for the late queen Jessamine, put on by Emily Kaldwin, the daughter of Attano and the queen, is disrupted by the witch Delilah Copperspoon, who claims to be the rightful heir to the Dunwall throne. The sequel to the critically acclaimed first-person action-adventure stealth brings us back to Corvo 15 years after the events of the first game. Just when you thought things had ended happily ever after for former Royal Protector Corvo Attano, Dishonored 2 pops up to show anything but. There's also Horde mode and countless PvP modes to keep you busy. It's super intense and a great way to experience Gears with friends. If campaign isn't your thing, don't worry, Gears 5 also has a game mode called Escape, which traps you in a Swarm nest and forces you to fight your way out in a limited amount of time. But when I played the campaign, I was blown away by how the story seamlessly connected itself to the rest of the series. When I saw the first trailer for this game at E3, I thought Gears 5 was going to flop.
It's one of the best Xbox Game Pass for PC games I've ever played. Gears 5 is an excellent third-person, cover-based shooter, in addition to being the best Gears of War games ever made thanks to its in-depth storytelling, beautiful open-world environments and believable characters. Halo: The Master Chief CollectionĪre you looking for an epic third-person shooter with a gorgeous semi-open world? Then Gears 5 is the best Xbox Game Pass PC game for you. They’re pieces of people’s souls that represent either dark desires or traumatic events, and combating these demons is more symbolic than it is artificial in a game like Devil May Cry where you fight demons for style points. Although, the spirits in the game aren’t just wayward souls.
Marianne isn’t defenseless, she has badass psychic abilities to not only defend herself but also send spirits to the beyond.
This game is very much about dealing with trauma, not running away from it. Additionally, its engaging mystery and satisfying problem-solving mechanics kept me going the whole way through. Haunting themes aside, The Medium impressed me in terms of graphical fidelity.
But I did, and now I’m here, to talk to you all about one of the first console exclusives for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. If you had warned me what kind of themes it would be exploring, I’m not so sure I’d want to play it. I’ve played quite a few messed up games in my time, but none have come as close as The Medium. The Medium weaves its engaging mystery with satisfying problem solving elements by putting you in the shoes of someone battling the world's traumas, but be warned, it really isn’t for everybody.
